  I've been wondering how the previous list of entrepreneur bloggers I posted maps to Twitter so I redid the list (order is now by Twitter followers which is the number in parentheses).    80% of the bloggers on the list are on Twitter.    I suspect there's a "sunk cost" argument driving this.

Imagine if, say, Autodesk had purchased it in 2009 for $100 million? Of the first four investments I made as a VC in 2009, two have exited and two (Invoca & GumGum) still are independent and likely to produce $billion++ outcomes . And the third founder, Colin Kelley , remains an important contributor & CTO of the company.

Schmidt had been the CEO of Novell and previously CTO of Sun Microsystems. Filed under: Venture Capital.

I think the real moral of this story is, (1) if you want to work at a startup, make sure the CTO cares about problem solving and not technology religion, (2) if you’re cooking steaks on a gas grill and you see your CTO warming up a dead squirrel over a book of matches, starting looking for a new job.
